Taylor has teamed up with a company called Glu - who have been responsible for addictive mobile games endorsed by celebrities such as Kim Kardashian : Hollywood, Britney Spears: American Dream, and Katy Perry Pop.

The app is set to launch worldwide towards the end of the year, and the singer herself is so excited to be releasing it - taking to YouTube to announce her plans.

"Hey guys it’s Taylor. I’ve got something pretty awesome that we’ve been working on for a while that I wanted to share with you,” she said.

Dramatic graphics then declare fans will be able to "CONNECT WITH TAYLOR” and "GET EXCLUSIVE TAYLOR STUFF!” by signing up to the app - which many are seeing as being like a combination of Twitter, Tumblr, and Instagram.

With the advert rolling out more details, things take an almost sinister turn when the descriptions explain: "Taylor can see, like, and comment on posts” - suggesting she will be taking an all-seeing almost Big Brother approach to her involvement in the project.

The app will also offer trademarked (of course) emojis, exclusive photos and the promise of “songs added every week.”

Signing off, The Swift says: "I think you guys are really going to like this. I mean, I hope. It would be preferable if you did.”

It is unclear if fans will be encouraged to buy in-app purchases but it is probably a safe bet considering the scandal the star caused when she teamed with Ticketmaster earlier this year to encourage fans to spend huge amounts of money to secure album purchases and concert tickets.

Initial response to the news of the app has been varied - with fans on Twitter declaring excitement, while critics are less impressed.

"Taylor treats us so well. Honestly I can't think of anyone else as nice as her,”one fan gushed, while another notes: “I would sooner watch water boil, more entertaining than that self obsessed girl."

Another took things a step further, tweeting: "I’d rather put my private parts in a bacon slicer" (which another Twitter user concurred was: "Harsh... but fair").

Taylor Swift has come under fire on social media in recent months ever since she was implicated as being dishonest by Kim Kardashian amid a feud between the singer and Kim’s rap star husband Kanye West.

Taylor had complained that Kanye had called her a ‘bitch’ in one of his songs - only for Kim to then leak video evidence of Taylor giving him the go ahead to use lyrics about her in a telephone conversation ahead of the track being released.

The reveal lead to Taylor being hounded by angry fans who left snake emojis on her Twitter and Instagram feeds - until she took action to have the emoji’s banned from her view.

However a recent Rolling Stone report has thrown doubt on whether or not Taylor actually consented to being called a 'bitch' as they wrote: "West's wife Kim Kardashian leaked video and audio of West and Swift's phone conversation, seemingly confirming that Swift was aware of some of West's lyrics about her in private. There was no recording, however, of Swift listening to and approving 'I made that bitch famous'."

Taylor released her petulant comeback song in August

She then relaunched her music career in 2017 using the scandal as a springboard for her song Look What You Made Me Do.

While the track was an international success, many were left thinking Taylor presented herself as a petty, bitter, spoiled individual after she blamed everyone but herself for her own mistakes in the track.

Her upcoming album, titled Reputation, is due for release on 10 November.
